Arthur blinked, a confused look in his eyes when Riley left. A small frown rested itself upon his lips, and he sighed.
"I guess she doesn't want me as a friend either. I'll add that to the list." He said to Alfred, who shrugged.
"Sorry dude," The american remarked, patting the brit's shoulder. Arthur frowned down at himself. Why do i have to be such a da** wank all the time? He thought angrily to himself.

I shivered as he muttered that I didn't want to be his friend, of course I wanted to be his friend! Why would I go after him and tell him to come back? Why would I try to kiss him? What was wrong with Arthur? The only reason I moved was because I though he didn't want me as a friend. I looked over at him and frowned "Of course I want to be your friend Arthur..." I said in a low voice. I hugged my knees tighter to my chest and blew into my hands "I'm just not sure if you want me as a friend" I said, mostly to myself, but I knew he could hear me too.

Arthur looked up and frowned.
"Just because i don't love you doesn't mean i dont like you Riley. You are my friend." He remarked, and Alfred smiled.
"Yeah, you're my friend too!" The american grinned.
"Okay i'll make the fire.." Alfred said, grabbing a piece of wood for the base. He had the fire made quickly, and then settled back down next to Arthur.

Brooklyn mumered and thanks to Alfred for making the fire, while she watched the confersation with Riley and Arthur. She warmed herself up for a bet close to the fire and then went over and sat next to Alfred again, but not as close as last time. Brooklyn watched the flames ise up into the air and finally desipear among the stary night sky. She never have seen so many stars before in the sky. She had to empet it was amazing. She leaned her head back against the tree felling the warm fire warm up her body.

Alfred smiled at Brook, and winked. He sighed, finally begining to warm up.
"At least we can all...almost get warm." He said, although Arthur continued to frown. The brit had his face focued on the fire, but out of the corner of his eye he was watching Jack in horse form. He wanted Jo there so bad, to have someone he knew and loved, even if She had gone crazy. Arthur's father had owned Jo's mother, and Arthur watched Jo be born. She chose Arthur, always following him around and the two were best friends. Arthur sighed sadly, feeling tears well up in his eyes.

Angelica saw Alfred make fire. "I shouldn't go there. I'm not as cold as them. Plus..." She looked at Arthur again. She almost wanted to slap herself. "You started it, Angelica. Then why the h*** are you afraid of him?" She thought to herself as she stood up and walked closer to the river and sat down nearby it. "Maybe the water is actually that bad?" She thought as she put her hand in the water. It was so cold... Angelica just sighed. If only she was more understanding, they maybe could even become friends.

John suddenly saw three people walk towards him. It was Tom, Robert and Oscar. "I'm here," he said silently, but loud enough for them to hear. Oscar was the first one to notice him."Come on guys!" He said as he ran towards him, Robert and Tom following him.
"Are we going to do something now?" Oscar asked the man.
"No..." He said as he looked at the short brunet, "We'll wait a little. I already have a plan. You see, I only need the fox-girl,"
"You do, but we need them all," Oscar mentioned, shooting him a glare.
"It's better getting one of them than losing them all," John spoke, "Plus, I will actually try to change her forever." He said, his face holding no emotion. "One person would be enough. Plus, she already sort of knows me, I'll know what she will try to do to escape and what she won't think about."
John saw their eyes widen. Robert was the most surprised out of the three, Tom really didn't want to question John, but Oscar was suspicious, like always.
"You... It was her who injected those features to you, huh?" The brunet asked, already beginning to realize why does he want only her.
John glared at Oscar. "That was quick," he thought. Oscar was probably the most observant out of the three, but he was irritating and cowardly as well. "If he finds out it's about this, he won't help me. What should I do?" He thought as he glanced at Bob and Tom, thinking of an answer.

OOC: I don't have much time to reply. This is a bit rushed.

Jack just smiled when Ril apologized to him. Now he actually was about to give up: she just wouldn't care about anything other than her Arthur. Now Jack had to admit: for some unknown reason, he was always siding with Angel whenever it was about Arthur. Yes, he disliked him very much, not just because of Riley...There were some other things that Jack didn't like about him.
He then stared at Angelica as she sat down nearby water. He stood up and walked up to her, and layed down beside her. For some reason, he really wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know from where to begin: she was one of the popular girls after all. He made a completely random chuckle, looking at her. "So, what do you think will happen to us now, Angel?" he asked her with a smile on his face, as he soaked his hoof into the cold water.

"I don't know."
"I just don't know." She whispered out, her soft voice imitating the voice of a slight wind. She looked at the stallion, seeing his glossy short coat shine in the moonlight. He looked majestic. Angel looked back at the water, seeing her reflection. Those little whiskers, those vertical pupils... She didn't look majestic at all. Angelica played with the water a bit, feeling the cold waves ride through her palm. They sent a shiver down her spine.
She turned around to see the other people. Alfred, the blond hero with glasses, Brooklyn, her friend... Riley, a girl she actually usually liked... And Arthur.
"You know, Jack," the fragile girl began, still playing with the water, "He's got a certain charm. But it's different from yours. " She whispered, looking at the stallion that had been a human. "You have that kind of charm that makes ladies swoon."
Angelica paused. The soft wind stroked the bare, softly tanned skin on her face. She looked somewhere into the distance, feeling herself sigh.
"While he's got the kind of charm that makes ladies want to kill themselves."

Arthur perked and rolled his eyes t Angelica's comment on his 'charm'. Well I dony anyone so I guess that's a good...thing? he thought to himself, resting his chin in his hand.
"Alfred?" Arthur asked quietly, turnin to look at his friend. Alfred raised his eyebrows.
"Do I make you want to kill yourself? Or kill me?" The Brit asked, a small frown on his face. Alfred laughed quietly.
"Hm? No...." the american remarked. Quite the opposite really... he thought to himself.

John took his time to answer. He looked at Oscar, realizing that he will have to tell them the truth. "Yes, Oscar. It was her." John spoke as he looked at the brunet, ignoring his suspicious glare.
"I know what you're thinking, you just want to get revenge." Oscar instantly began, "But it's not beneficial for us John, it's beneficial for you, what we will do with well... A fox that's forever a fox?" He began raising his tone.
"But that's it, I'll try the injections out on her, how long will it last, maybe she won't be a complete fox and will have the human ability to think, what's going to happen," John began explaining, looking at Robert and Tom out of the corner of his eye, as if asking for help.
"And then? You can choose anyone, why waste your time on her?" The brunet questioned the other man, raising his eyebrow.
"Look...If you don't help me, they'll kill you." John looked over at Robert and Tom, who looked surprised for a moment and then nodded, obeying John's not-so-hidden order.
Oscar looked over at the two. He was rather short and not very strong, he knew he would die if the two would gang up on him.
"F-fine. Let's wait now, though." Oscar said as he watched the teens through the trees. It was hard to see them, but it was possible.

Angelica heard the two talk. She wanted to reply to Arthur, she wanted to scream that it was not Alfred she was talking about, that Alfred is his perfect match and they can both go to h***, but she kept her mouth shut. She was afraid to anger him again.

Brooklyn watched the conversation with interest. Then sighed and said, "We should all get some sleep. It's going to be a big day tomorrow, so we should get some rest," Brooklyn said acting like a leader. She loved being to boss of everyone because it didn't make her feel not weak and helpless. Back at school she loved being leader of the cheerleaders, so she always acted like one. She sighed and said, "Ill stay awake and stand on guard while you guys get some rest," Brooklyn said to the group of teens.

Arthur frowned back at Angel, although it turned put as more of a glare.
"You shouldn't o followed me." he whispered to Alfred, who frowned.
"I wouldn't Pettit disappear like that! You have to go back to England!" Alfred murmured back, taking off his glasses and setting them down on the ground. Arthur continued to frown, but sighed.
"Alright. Brook, I'll take the secon watch." he said, Laying down to sleep.

((Ooc: Sorry guys, this post was really rushed D: ))

I ignored everyone after me and Arthur talked, I finally picked up when Brooklyn offered to take first watch. I didn't want to be the onlt one awake with her so I didn't volunteer to help. I stretched and rose to my feet "Well, night everyone" I said, yawning hugely and flying up to a branch of the tree that Alfred and Arthur was sitting under. Maybe something in that lab gave me the instincts of a bird, but whatever the reason, I wasn't happy on the ground. I looked down on everyone and sighed, "I'll take third watch I guess, I might not even sleep tonight, so I'll be able to keep and eye on them" I nodded to the opposite side of the river where 3 or 4 figures stood.

Brooklyn nodded toward Arthur and then Riley, when they offered to watch. When Riley pointed toward something across the river she saw the three figures standing there. She never saw them before and now felt more scared and didn't really want to stay on guard. But at the moment she wasn't sleepy and knew she'd not get any sleep. When everyone started settling down Brooklyn got up and sat by the fire warming her up. She watched the barely noticeable figures in the dark but knew if they came across she'd hear them in the water getting to shore, so they were safe at the moment. The snowy dark forest stood behind her and the light from the fire danced across the trees closest to her, while the others were swallowed up in darkness. Slowly one by one everyone started going to sleep. She heard a soft snore of someone but didn't know who. A half an hour passed and Brooklyn was poking the fire with a stick. Brooklyn also added some wood to the fire to keep it glowing. She kept her eyes on the figures some hoping they wouldn't come. A cold breeze rustled through the trees making her shiver and put her knees to her chest. Brooklyn heard a small snip in the woods close to them and shot up trying to not wake anyone. She held the stick in her hand ready to hit whatever was in there. Then a little rabbit popped out of the woods, looking up at her with its big eyes. Brooklyn wanted to scream at it for scaring her, but waved her stick instead and it hoped away. Brooklyn sat back down close to the fire. She sighed and then heard a low howl that echoed through the woods. The sound was very far away but still enough to creep her out. At the moment she really wished someone was awake to keep her company.
